Radiation & Non-Radiation Terms in Equation B for Moving Charged Particle

In summary, the conversation discusses the radiation and non-radiation terms in the equation B for a moving charged particle. It is suggested to compute the stress-energy tensor and Poynting vector to understand the energy flows. However, it is not clear how to separate out the radiation part in this context.

What is the radiation and non-radiation terms in the equation B for a moving charged particle. How can I express the result in a tensor form?

Thanks!

Good question. If you want to know the energy flows, you can compute the stress-energy tensor and the Poynting vector as in https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.ph...26693874#Electromagnetic_stress–energy_tensor

That will describe the distribution (stress-energy tensor ##T^{ab}##) or flow (Poynting vector , ##S^a = T^{ab} u_b##), ##u_b## being the 4-velocity of the observer ).

I don't know how to separate out the radiation part, alas.
 

What is radiation?

Radiation is the emission or transmission of energy in the form of waves or particles through space or a material medium.

What is a moving charged particle?

A moving charged particle is a particle that has an electrical charge and is in motion.

What is the equation for calculating the radiation and non-radiation terms in the equation for a moving charged particle?

The equation is F = q(E + v × B), where q is the charge of the particle, E is the electric field, v is the velocity of the particle, and B is the magnetic field.

How do radiation and non-radiation terms differ in the equation for a moving charged particle?

The radiation term (qE) represents the force exerted on the particle by an external electric field, while the non-radiation term (qv × B) represents the force due to the particle's motion in a magnetic field.

Why is it important to understand the radiation and non-radiation terms in the equation for a moving charged particle?

Understanding these terms is important for predicting and manipulating the behavior of charged particles in different environments, such as in particle accelerators or in space. It also has practical applications in fields such as electronics and medical imaging.
